Follow Up Tips – How Many Times Should You Follow Up With Your Prospects Before Crossing Them Off Your List

In this episode, I share my best follow up tips to know exactly how many times to follow up with a prospect and exactly what to say to them when you do.

This week, since we’re talking about the follow-up process I’m giving you My Prospecting Follow Up Guide. This is like having a cheat sheet that will give you the exact process of how many times to follow up and exactly what to say each step of the way.

Having prospects disappear on you while you’re in the process of presenting your business, service or product is normal and comes with the territory.

I’ve definitely had my fair share of prospects joining the witness protection program or just dropping off the face of this planet when I’ve tried to follow up with them.

This is why I created a follow-up process that I use and train my team on using as well.

It’s a follow-up process that reduces the number of prospects that “disappear” on you and eliminates you looking like someone needy or desperate.

Follow Up Tips – The Fortune Is In The Presentation…if You Do It Right

This might be a bit controversial to most network marketers and I’ll probably get some flak for saying this but I hate follow up.

I think minimizing the need for follow-up is possible IF you do the presentation right.

The reason I don’t like following up is because it comes across as needy and desperate if your calling people up trying to get them to make a decision.

I’d rather use POSTURE in my approach and focus on having a really STRONG presentation.

If someone goes through your presentation and say’s they’re interested, why are you letting them go?

Sure, some people will give you all kinds of reasons why they can’t get started immediately but if you refine your presentation and get really good at handling objections you’ll be signing up ALOT more people on the spot.

Follow Up Tips – Book The Date And Time For The Follow Up Right On The Spot

But let’s say you have a prospect who is very interested but isn’t in a position to start immediately.

How do you follow up with them while maintaining your posture and without hounding them down?

First, I would qualify the objection and then book a time with them to follow up and get started.

You should never leave an interested prospect without a set date and time to follow up to get started with you.

This way it sets up a mutual expectation for you to reach out to them on that date and leaves the door open for them to contact you sooner if their situation changes.

That will eliminate a lot of confusion on how many times should you follow up or what to say if you follow up because you’ll both be expecting to get back in touch on the scheduled date & time that you agreed on.

Follow Up Tips– Assume That Your Prospect Is Ready To Get Started

On the date of your follow-up have the expectation that your prospect will be ready to get started.

If you did a good job at setting up the expectation that the follow-up was the date for them to move forward and join you in business than most likely they will.

You can answer any questions they might have and then get them started.

But what if things don’t go exactly in that order and fashion? What if your prospect still has some objections or isn’t ready to get started?

I book another date and time and repeat the same process that I did with them in the first follow-up.

However, I won’t let these follow-up dates be more than a week apart from each other.

If someone wants to wait a month to get started I won’t schedule that into my calendar.

I will follow up with a prospect only two times.

I know these aren’t your typical network marketing follow up tips but from my personal experience, it doesn’t do you or your prospect any good to drag on a decision that should only take a week to make.

I’ve had prospects with all odds against them get started out of the desire and determination to do so.

I recommend that you focus on the people that are really serious and prove to you that they have a desire to get started.

Your time is best spent with those that don’t drag you through a long decision process.

And in some cases, you’ll have to use your best judgment with prospects that appear to be really strong and serious but the timing just isn’t right for them.

And most importantly, make sure you’re following up with prospects that are a pleasure to follow up with.

Don’t let anybody drag you into the mud with them.

If they’re no fun to prospect you can bet on the fact that they’ll be no fun to work with.
